HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS. tribute to
woods and fields. BY WILLIAM HAMILTON
GIBSON, author of Pastoral Days" &c.
| illustrated by the author. New York Har.
per & Brothers, franklin square. Robert
Beall, Pennsylvania avenue.
Magnificent in all things is this volume
in Its large fne'paper pages and print, illus
trations, ornamental borders, binding; in
what the text says and the manner of the
saying. The many bits OF landscape have
the truth and the effect Of mature; more
entertaining, instructive, sweet prose than
this have we nowhere read. We linger
over each page, often turn back and re-
peruse; we look long and lovingly at each
| picture, return to 1t, and still find subject
| for study and admiration.
| The style of the writing is that peculiar
to poet, in whose use words are richer
than any to be produced by the common
man OF prose. II the author has not woven
the fairy work OF verse, he could weave it,
would he.
Altogether, this volume is treasure
more brilliant and valuable than diamonds

Prettily ''got up" and satisfactory, after
a general examination. Our language is 80
lawless and peculiar that a dictionary as
pocket companion is indispensable to him
who would correctly speak or write. This
little volume is recommended.
